How To Use A Weightlifting Belt (IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK)

@Squat University How would one with a bit of a hanging belly wear a weightlifting belt?

I just watched the first 1 min, 16 seconds and have now fueled up on 6 liters of soda and I am about to go break some PB:s. Thanks!

Many people on the internet says that tapered belt is worse than conventional belt that have the same width all around. May I know why do you recommend a tapered belt instead?

So can I wear the belt if I have a lower back injury whilst playing basketball to avoid further injury?

It's like school teachs you a lot of crap for nothing is going to help in life

So when do I tighten up the belt? When I inhale or exhale?

Sorry, took too long to get anywhere. Don't need a 7 min video explaining a belt.

@cooperducharme

I used to wearly the belt too tightly. Not I wearly it better. Thank you for the video

Does Weightlifting Belt increases the risk of inguinal hernia?

I'm a 90 yo female, and your videos have helped tremendously.

I can’t get the breathing part right 😣

I get the principle but, coming from a world of MMA/boxing....if I'm preparing to take a blow to the midsection, the last thing I'd want to do is fill up with air. Rather, I'd want to empty my thorax.

Lifting belts are perfect for you to lift high weights with bad form and neglect core strength until you injure your back. Never use a crutch to lift. If you can't lift it raw then don't bother using a device to help.

Hey Dr. Will excessive intra abdominal pressure & bracing cause inguinal hernia? I recently suffered from inguinal hernia injury. Is it related to IAP / Bracing / Valsalva's Maneuver?

are you an alumin of squat university?

I work at a mail sort facility and my back hurts pretty bad at the end of the week. I move 50-60 pound bags from one cart into another about 15-30 times per destination. I am wondering if a belt will help me and should I be looking for a particular kind. I have my eye on a gym reaper quick lock belt at the moment. I am in a very Humid hot open air warehouse so I think leather might be a bad idea.

Very great video and now I know how to properly use one of these belts! Also love the demonstration you did with the soda can. Well done instructions all around. Will for sure watch more of your videos and I did subscribe!

Yea.. you lost me at six pack.

Very helpful thank you

Cardill. How do you spell it. Thank you for the instruction. Soda can is the best analogy

What is the song playing at the end of your video??

Do you even need a belt, ever?

This tutorial is useless. I can't find my six-pack.

I still don't know what the belt is for

@athantuscano

God, just show me where bro, this should not be 7 mins.

I can't deny how much a belt has helped me with my strength. As a beginner I hit a plateau with my deadlifts and squats and struggled with progressive overload. I started using a belt yesterday and immediately was able to breeze through my deadlift and today squats. Going to try bracing properly the next round!

Would you recommend a belt for someone with chronic back issues for weight lifting?

Cool 👍🏻

Where’s my 6 pack?

Homie should of gotten a zoom in in the lateral breathing, i didnt notice a change

Incredible

I bloody love your videos. Thanks Brother. God bless, from England.

Would you be able to do a review of Postural Restoration Institute methods? 🙏

I prefer leather after mine was stolen at my gym

In the Japanese gym, dude is wearing gloves, elbow braces, a weight belt, gloves - and doing biceps curls with 5kg.

And is form sucks.

Nylon for me also
